Bobby Lee Weaver, 54 of Fair Grove, Missouri, met his savior face to face on July 13, 2026, at 5:25 a.m., in his home surrounded by all his girls, after a 5 year battle with cancer. Bobby received his reward.

Bobby grew up on a dairy farm in Grovespring, Missouri, where his unrelenting work ethic began along with his passion for farming. He graduated from Hartville High School in 1990.

Bobby went on to receive an automotive mechanic degree from Linn Tech and in 1994 he became a member of IUOE 101 where he operated heavy equipment, concrete pump trucks, and then became the master mechanic for Concrete Placement of the Ozarks. Bobby loved to work, any type of work, but the work he loved most was farming. He loved looking over his herds, watching new born calves, the smell of fresh cut hay, and time in the tractor with God.

Bobby met the love of his life in the summer of 1994 while playing softball. The two were married April 20, 1996, and were blessed with four beautiful daughters, Bailey Weaver, Lorin (Colton) Carrier, Leah (Cole) Keeton, and Bradi Weaver. Bobby balanced long days at work with coaching basketball teams, always being in the stands cheering his girls on and enduring countless “girl” things. He was the best girl dad. He said that was because he raised them like boys. Bobby finally got boys with the addition of his son-in-laws whom he was very close with.

Bobby and Lori worked tirelessly building their modest cow/calf operation from the ground up. They operated a custom hay business, and a snowplowing operation as well in addition to their “town jobs” and raising a family. Bobby wasn’t afraid of hard work, he rarely got frustrated and there was never a problem he couldn’t find a solution to. He was a calm and steady presence and his deep knowledge and unmatched skills will be missed tremendously.

But the biggest void will be that left in the hearts of his family and friends. Bobby invested in people, a lesson taught to him by Orin and Ruby Lemons at a young age in a dairy barn. Bobby had many jobs, but his favorite job was being a grandpa. This was another thing Bobby excelled at and was just going to keep getting better and better at. Nothing could convince him there was anything better in life than his precious grandkids, Isaac and Lillie.

In the little spare time he had, Bobby enjoyed hunting with his boys and horseback riding with family and friends. There are treasured memories of hours in the saddle and time around campfires.

Bobby developed a deep relationship with the Lord as an adult and he was active in his church, Northside Christian Church, and invested in it holding babies, fixing things, and serving in any capacity. He invested in his church and the church invested in him. The last five years during his cancer battle, Bobby would often say he didn’t know how people got through hard things without the Lord and His people. A focus of always pointing people to the Lord even during difficult times was deeply important to him.

Bobby is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Robert and Gladys weaver, maternal grandparents Fern and Christine Sampson, brother Charles “Buddy” Weaver, a brother and sister-in-law Chris and Dee Helvey, and a beloved grandchild Tatum.

Bobby is survived by his parents Charles Weaver and Jan Buttram, sister Melissa (Bob) McClanahan, and brother Matthew Weaver, his mother and father-in-law Mike and Lorraine Helvey, sister-in-laws Missy (Scott) Filley, Natalie (Jeremy) Compton, a whole host of nieces and nephews and friends who are family.

He also leaves behind his beloved wife Lori, his children and grandchildren, a legacy of faith, determination, and a soft spirit.

To say this man will be missed would be words falling short. His character, work ethic, knowledge, determination, and stubbornness are to be unequalled. There will never be another like Him.

But…God is good. He has a plan. His ways are perfect. He loves us.
